A Season in the Stands: Transplanted Buckeye Fan

Justin's sister is living in Clemson/South Carolina country.

It's fun to explore how relationships are affected by college football. (Heck, here's another example!) In this A Season in the Stands video, we meet Justin Parsons' sister. She's a Buckeye fan, but she lives down in South Carolina with her husband (a Clemson fan) and things get a little interesting from time to time. Check out near the end of this piece, where she talks about the students in her class (she's a teacher) asking her if she roots for the Gamecocks or the Tigers. "We root for Ohio State," she says. "Up there, everyone roots for the same thing." Yep—and against Michigan (cue the hype for Saturday!)
